[Verse 1]
Everything`s still pretty much the same `round here
Neighbors still shootin` all of next year`s deer
Boys still lose `less they`re playin` at home
But I got better since you got gone
I`m still a few too many on a Friday night
I still try to step in when it ain`t my fight
I`m still me, don`t get me wrong
But I got better since you got gone

[Chorus]
Swear it was like, "I`ll be damned"
I`m finally back to bein` who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn`t no tellin` who I`d turn into
But it turns out me and you together`s why it took so long
`Cause I got better since you got gone

[Verse 2]
For a little while there, you had me convinced
That my mama was the devil, now we`re talkin` again
My friends you hated ain`t said one word
Besides, "You got better since you lost her"

[Chorus]
Swear it was like, "I`ll be damned"
I`m finally back to bein` who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn`t no tellin` who I`d turn into
But it turns out me and you together`s why it took so long
`Cause I got better since you got gone
Oh, baby, since you got gone

[Bridge]
And I ain`t sayin` you`re the sleep that I lost
But I never slept this good before
I ain`t sayin` you`re the weight on my back
I`m just sayin` that it ain`t there no more

[Chorus]
I`ll be damned
I`m finally back to bein` who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn`t no tellin` who I`d turn into
But it turns out me and you together`s why it took so long
`Cause I got better since you got gone
Yeah, baby, since you got gone
